Reviews:

• "High school to college-level holdings strong in Asian culture and history will find this latest addition to 'Culture and Customs of Asia' covers a country rarely given much depth or detail: Mongolia. Chapters provide historical, literary, economic and cultural review of Mongolia and make for a key introduction perfect for report-writing."
  —The Midwest Book Review 3/1/2009
• "For users needing a quick, reliable overview of Mongolia and its culture, this resource will be worthwhile; for those needing more in-depth information, however, it is suggested they consult the bibliography at the end of the volume for more information... The chapters are well written and will be easily understood by the intended audience. The text is supplemented by a brief chronology, a note on transliteration, a glossary, and a bibliography. Users will find that the index that rounds out the volume will be essential in finding quick information."
